A new job and a new focus

In August last year I changed roles and my focus has changed somewhat also.  I now work for a group in Sun Engineering called PAE.  We are a performance focused team, I have been asked to look into Hadoop on Solaris and try to understand it better and to document my progress as best as possible.  In doing this I feel I can share some of my findings and in particular I hope to share my methods and tools.

So over the next few posts I hope to help others get started looking into Hadoop on Solaris, with some luck I can build a getting started instruction set to help you on your way.
